Gateshead: Tutu-tastic Travels! (Blog Post #5719)

Hello, my lovely darlings! It’s Pink Tutu Sparkles here, and guess what? I'm in Gateshead! I'm SO excited to be here, because Gateshead has just got to be one of the most wonderful, vibrant, and downright gorgeous cities I've ever visited!

A Tutu-ful Journey

Getting here was half the fun. I couldn’t resist the chance to hop on a train from Derbyshire, whizzing past green fields and quaint villages. You know me, I love the charm of a good train journey! Arriving in Gateshead, I couldn't help but admire the bustling city centre and its magnificent, towering architecture.

Tutu Time!

Naturally, I've been on the hunt for some stunning pink tutus! Gateshead doesn’t disappoint! I stumbled upon a fantastic vintage shop brimming with exquisite, pre-loved treasures – including a simply divine pink tutu with an ombre effect, the most delicate lace trim, and sparkly, sparkling, sequins! You'd think I'd been crowned Queen of the Dance Floor myself.

A Cultural Extravaganza

Of course, no visit to Gateshead would be complete without taking in a show. I'm a HUGE fan of theatre, and this place just radiates creativity and culture. I saw the most brilliant performance by the Gateshead Ballet – absolutely dazzling! Their talent and artistry just took my breath away. You see, the key to good drag is good dance moves, and they've definitely inspired me for my next performance.

Sparkles and Tea

I'm all about embracing local culture. So, I treated myself to a lovely cuppa and a scone at a cute, independent tea room tucked away in a quiet cobbled street. As I savored the delicate taste of the Earl Grey and the crumbly sweetness of the scone, I felt truly relaxed and content. A little pink-tutu time always makes the day!

A Pint of Pink

Who knew Gateshead had such a fab pub scene? It's certainly not lacking in pubs bursting with character and warmth. I couldn’t resist grabbing a pint with some fellow drag queens (don’t worry, I had a pink drink of course, I’m not just all about tutus!). They all love pink tutus too! Maybe my vision of pink tutus for all is really becoming a reality…

From Lab Coat to Spotlight

By day, I work in a science lab – analysing fabric for strength and quality – a surprising fact that usually leaves people shocked, but you see it’s actually super relevant to the design of my stage outfits. But by night, it’s all tutus and sparkles! It’s my own little balancing act – between science and sequins, which perfectly sums up me: the drag queen with a scientific background!

Why Gateshead is a Must-Visit

Honestly, I've never seen a place like it! The beauty of the architecture, the bustling shops and restaurants, the captivating performance art – all mixed with that down-to-earth North-East charm. There’s something about Gateshead, maybe it's the sheer joy of it all, that really gets your spirits soaring. If you're ever looking for an enchanting adventure, Gateshead should be your next stop!

Embrace Your Inner Tutu Queen

My lovely darlings, remember: wear pink! Wear tutus! Embrace the sparkles! It’s your time to shine! Let's bring the pink revolution to the world. Until next time, keep twirling!
